die
chronicles of narnia bestehen aus
sieben büchern, wobei das ähnlich wie beim tolkien so ist, dass je früher desto kindlicher...
ich geb hier mal die summaries von der wikipedia in der internen chronologie der bücher wieder (nicht gleich publikationsabfolge!):
The Magician’s Nephew (1955)
Completed in the winter of 1954 and published in 1955, the prequel The Magician's Nephew brings the reader back to the very beginning of Narnia where we learn how Aslan created the world and how evil first entered it. Another group of people from Earth stumble into Narnia via an entirely different route. Many long-standing questions about Narnia are answered, such as how inter-world travel was made possible, and where the wardrobe came from.
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (1950)
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, completed in the spring of 1950 and published in 1950, tells the story of four ordinary children: Peter, Susan, Edmund and Lucy Pevensie. They discover that the wardrobe in an old professor's house leads to the magical land of Narnia, currently under the spell of a witch. The children fulfill an ancient, mysterious prophecy as they help Aslan save Narnia from the evil White Witch who has reigned over the kingdom of Narnia for 100 years.
The Horse and His Boy (1954)
Completed in the spring of 1950 and published in 1954, The Horse and His Boy is the first of the books that does not follow the previous one sequentially; instead, it takes place during the reign of the Pevensies in Narnia, an era which begins and ends in the last chapter of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The story is about Bree, a talking horse, and Shasta, a young boy, who have both been held (albeit separately) in bondage in Calormen, a country to the south of Narnia. By chance, they meet each other and plan their return to Narnia and freedom. On their journey they discover that the Calormenes are about to invade Archenland, and they plan to arrive there first to alert the King.
Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia (1951)
Completed in the autumn of 1950 and published in 1951, Prince Caspian: The Return to Narnia tells the story of the Pevensie children's second trip to Narnia, during which they discover that an evil king has usurped the throne. Once again, they set out to save Narnia, this time with the help of the rightful ruler, Prince Caspian.
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (1952)
Completed in the winter of 1950 and published in 1952, The Voyage of the ‘Dawn Treader’ returns Edmund and Lucy Pevensie, along with their priggish cousin, Eustace Scrubb, to Narnia. Once there, they accompany King Caspian on a voyage to find the seven lords who were banished when Miraz took over the throne. This perilous journey brings them face to face with many wonders and dangers as they sail toward Aslan's country at the end of the world.
The Silver Chair (1953)
Completed in the spring of 1951 and published in 1953, The Silver Chair is the first book without the Pevensie children. Instead, Aslan calls Eustace back to Narnia together with his classmate Jill Pole. There they are given four clues to find Prince Rilian, Caspian's son, who had been kidnapped ten years earlier. Eustace and Jill, with the help of Puddleglum the Marsh-wiggle and many others, face great danger before finding Rilian.
The Last Battle (1956)
The Last Battle, completed in the spring of 1953, published in 1956 and awarded the Carnegie Medal, chronicles the end of the world of Narnia. Jill and Eustace return to save Narnia from Shift, an ape, who tricks Puzzle, a donkey, into impersonating the lion Aslan. This is the seventh and last book in the series.
Caspian ist also einer der romane von lewis, aber natürlich haben die disneys ihn sicher wieder stark umgeschrieben
generell scheinen sie die publikationsreihenfolge der bücher der (logischeren) internen chronologie vorzuziehen, das hat aber auch den vorteil für die produzenten, dass sie am anfang zusammenhängende stories bei den filmen haben (lion-caspian-dawn trader-silver chair) und sich dann entscheiden können, ob die filme gut genug laufen, dass sie die "alleinstehenden" teile (horse-nephew) noch machen können und wollen, bevor sie den last battle ausbrechen lassen, um abzuschließen.
wenns echt schlecht geht, können sie auch hardcore-mäßig lion-caspian-trader-battle machen, bzw. sogar caspian und trader zusammelegen und eine trilogie zimmern (lion/entdeckung von narnia - caspian+trader/gerechter herrscher von narnia - battle/ende von narnia)...
